Cal, <br /> One of the greatest honors I have ever known was to be elected at age 25 to represent <br /> Ward 1 on the Elk River City Council. To be able to serve as a Councilmember for the <br /> same community my father served as Police Chief for 23 years has truly been a <br /> humbling, but rewarding experience. <br /> Being elected to serve in the Minnesota House of Representatives this fall for House <br /> District 30A, is also a truly unbelievable honor. However,my election requires me to step <br /> down from my position on the Elk River City Council. I will resign my City Council <br /> position effective January 8th 2013, and my last City Council meeting will be January 7th <br /> 2013. <br /> By resigning with less than two years left in my City Council term I am providing the <br /> City of Elk River maximum flexibility in filling my position, and I would urge the <br /> Councilmembers to avoid an expensive special election and fill the vacancy with an <br /> appointment as allowed by Minnesota State Statute. I am providing notice now in order <br /> for the city to move expeditiously in order to provide Ward 1 with representation as soon <br /> after my resignation as possible. <br /> On a final note, please pass along to every city staff member my sincerest thanks and <br /> gratitude for their service and commitment to the city of Elk River. I have had the honor <br /> and privilege of working with some of the most amazing professionals in public service, <br /> and I am eternally grateful for everything they have taught me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Nick Zerwas <br /> Elk River City Councilmember <br />
